The goal is November 2024, after the City Council's Rules Committee unanimously approved further analysis of a measure that would divide the current job between two people
Critics who say legal advice from San Diego’s city attorney is sometimes tainted by politics are proposing a November 2024 ballot measure that would chop the job into two parts — one person for criminal cases and another for civil matters.
Supporters say elected city attorneys’ political ambitions or ideology can taint the laws they write and the legal advice they give to the mayor and council. They also say the scrutiny elected officials face can affect the advice given. Peters, now serving in the U.S. Congress, sent the council an open letter last week contending the change is needed to fix an outdated structure that no longer meets San Diego’s needs.
In addition to San Diego, most large cities in California — including San Francisco and Los Angeles — elect city attorneys to handle civil matters and legal advice. But most of the state’s smaller cities assign those tasks to appointed lawyers.Four council members support change, want November ballot measure
